San Diego Magazine Presents Woman of the Year

By October 3, 2016 No Comments

San Diego Magazine’s Celebrating Women event honored some of the dynamic women in our city committed to creating positive change. A networking hour kicked off the event with delectable bites and bar hosted by Strongbow cider, followed by an inspirational discussion with panelists Erin Spiewak (CEO, Monarch School) and Nancy Warwick (Owner, Warwick’s La Jolla), among others. We were inspired by their success stories and advice before hearing the reveal of the Woman of the Year and runner ups. The event, emceed by Megan Tevrizian, Anchor & Reporter at NBC 7 San Diego, was a beautiful example of what woman can achieve in their careers and community.
